The European fire resistance test standard on fire doors is 10% to
15% harder to pass than the British equivalent, according to BM
TRADA, the construction certification specialist.
"The BS EN 1634 Part 1, Doors & Shutters, is noticeably harder than its British equivalent. If the construction industry starts specifying to the European standard it will end up with a tougher product," said Simon Beer, BM TRADA's doors and windows product certification manager.
"It could have cost implications for door manufacturers as they might have to beef up their products," said Beer.
